    What an amazing experience and n Christmas Eve as well. Food was outstanding as well as the service. We got to then look around the gardens after the food. It certainly made things feel very Christmassy.

    We went to Glo for an early Christmas Eve dinner and it was lovely. The ambiance in the restaurant for the season was beautiful. Our waiter was knowledgeable and very personable. There were three of us, all ordering a different entree and all three were very good and beautifully presented. We all ordered dessert and they too were delicious. I personally ordered the bread pudding and it was the best I have ever tasted - I am still talking about that bread pudding! All in all it was exactly the experience we had hoped to have for Christmas Eve.

    We had mushroom ravioli and mushroom risotto. Both were spectacular. They have four options of de-alcoholized wine!!!! The downside- though I had confirmed twice through text messaging that I was keeping my reservation, when I called they said they didn’t have it. They said they could accommodate us (two people) at two different times then originally confirmed. We expected a full restaurant but there were only four tables being used throughout our entire dining experience. Considering how few people were there, the wait for drinks was incredibly long.

    My husband and I were looking for a restaurant that was outside of our usual rotation, and I had never been to Med Grill before. Loved every aspect of it. The food was delicious, our server was so friendly and the environment was warm, festive and very inviting. We both agreed that this will now be a part of our regular date night spots! Thanks for a great experience!
